We are officially under construction. 
Charbroiled support beam? GREAT.
A laundry room and pantry will be carved out of a portion of this space.
The ceiling is now gone in the master bath area... It was missing a crucial support beam and was allowing the ceiling to sag, so the builder knocked out the ceiling to put in a new beam.
You can see outside in the corner... yikes!
Exposed ceiling with electrical hanging everywhere.
Builder Mike has started rebuilding what Eric and I demolished. 
Builder Mike is a neat freak. He sweeps and vacuums all the time.
The "room" to the right is the closet, and the bathroom vanity goes to the left.
And, as with all construction projects... Once we took up the carpet, we found that the subfloor in part of the master bedroom was maid of 1/4" thick particle board. Particle board swells with moisture. Not the smartest thing to put down!
I finished painting the living and dining room walls and ceiling... now I have to do the baseboards and door and window frames... yuck. The purple master bedroom is looming down the corridor... YIKES!
Eric began prep work on the flower beds. We trimmed up the bush/tree. We don't want to cut it down, because it provides shade for the west-facing living room windows... and we all know about Texas summers!
